Class from the opening credits to the final credits and everything in between. Sadly this era is gone forever.

I don't doubt you - same in Popular music too - Corporate dominance now rules & decrees:  'keep it Dumbed down' for the masses - they don't want anything intelligent that would LIFT the standards in either TV or music, in The USA, UK, Europe or other countries either !

Funny enough shows like 'The Name of The Game' actually WARNED us of this all coming with many episodes deal with Messers Barry / Franciosa / Stack fighting corruption & greed in the corporate world of organised crime

@iwantoldschool Shot non-union, a show like Name Of The Game would cost about $150,000 and take about two weeks to produce. Advertising would need to be offline to start attracting real viewership. It would run about $250,000.

So find about $400,000 and contact me. We can develop a retro detective show as good as this that looks and feels just as old school, and I'll shoot it and have it on the air for you by June. Again:

IF YOU WANT THINGS CHANGED, CHANGE THEM. Good night.

@iwantoldschool Don't bother checking my YouTube channel to see any of the New Retro material. They're on another, very popular channel. This one, iwantoldschool, is the one I use when I want to just watch lazily and post things. Your post caught my attention.

Proof can be found here: Type the usual three letters that start a website address, add a dot, type "sellinofilms", add a dot, type the usual three-letter ending, and then hit enter. If what you see doesn't convince you I'm real...

@iwantoldschool If you want this kind of programming back on the air, bring money to the table. Your money. Become the next moguls and fund our shows. If more people like you pooled your money together and formed new studios, and said, make these kinds of shows, we would. I risked everything to bring shows like this back and had no budget left over for advertising. The studios went, "See? There's not an audience for that stuff." And there you are.

IF YOU WANT THINGS CHANGED, CHANGE THEM.

@pearsedoran HOLD IT. I'm a film and television producer, and some of us DO want to bring this era back. Don't blame us. Instead blame the corporate owned studios with an agenda to keep American viewers mentally lazy, even "dumb". Nothing truly intelligent is ever greenlit. Trust me. They simply WILL. NOT. FUND. PROJECTS. THIS. INTELLIGENT. ANY. MORE.

It's not us producers and directors. We're the ones who want it back. Studios won't back it.

Tony Franciosa was also a fine Broadway actor. I loved Gene Barry in "Bat Masterson" and "Burkes Law". Robert Stack was nominated for an Oscar. These were three very polished actors together. Interesting story idea. But it didn't stay on very long.

That's Glenn, with 2 ns, for Glenn Howard. :) And Robert Stack's character was Daniel W Farrell. Only he and God know what the W stood for...

Is this series available on DVD anywhere?

@spockvideo

That's because they are 'unofficial' versions of the episodes - the opening graphic used to 'Rotate' and the featured star was always put up first....
